Nitroimidazoles are characterized by a wide range of biological activity and many of them are used as therapeutics. Moreover, some bicyclic nitroimidazooxazoles show considerable potency against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Some authors noticed that in the case of chiral derivatives of nitroimidazodihydrooxazoles, the (R) form shows a greater tuberculostatic activity than the (S) enantiomer. This work describes the procurement of new 12 enantiomeric bicyclic derivatives of nitroimidazole.

Benzoquinone and its reduced form hydroquinone belong to phenolic compounds and are found in living organisms in free form or in glycosides. They are active substances of some medicinal plants and have a pharmacological effect on the human body. Accordingly, their derivatives are important objects for chemical synthesis and development of new drugs. This article presents the findings of the structural design of substances with benzoquinone or hydroquinone fragment and sulfur-containing compound. By use of appropriate on-line programs a predictive screening of the biological activity and cytotoxicity of thiosulfonate derivatives of benzoquinone and hydroquinone has been conducted. It has been found that they have immense methodological potential to be synthesized by substances with a wide range of biological activities and a high value of probable activity, which substantiates the feasibility of conducting experimental studies on their biological activity, particularly anticancer.

Objectives. Biogenic polyamines are widely present in nature. They are characteristic of both protozoan cells and multicellular organisms. These compounds have a wide range of biological functions and are necessary for normal growth and development of cells. Violation of polyamine homeostasis can cause significant abnormalities in cell functioning, provoking various pathological processes, including oncological and neuropsychiatric diseases. The impact on the “polyamine pathway” is an attractive basis for the creation of many pharmacological agents with a diverse spectrum of action. The purpose of this review is to summarize the results of the studies devoted to understanding the biological activity of compounds of the polyamine series, comparing their biological action with action on certain molecular targets. Due to the structural diversity of this group of substances, it is impossible to fully reflect the currently available data in one review. Therefore, in this work, the main attention is paid to the derivatives, acyclic saturated polyamines.Results. The following aspects are considered: biological functionality, biosynthesis and catabolism, cell transport, and localization of biogenic polyamines in the living systems. Structural analogs and derivatives of biogenic polyamines with antitumor, neuroprotective, antiarrhythmic, antiparasitic, antibacterial, and other biological activities are represented; the relationship between biological activity and the target of exposure is reflected. It was found that the nature of the substituent, the number of cationic centers, and the length of the polyamine chain have a great influence on the nature of the effect.Conclusions. At present, the use of polyamine structures is restrained by cytotoxicity and nonspecific toxic effects on the central nervous system. Further research in the field of biochemistry, cell transport, and a deeper understanding of receptor interaction mechanisms will help making polyamines as the basis for potential drug formulation.

Many naturally occurring xanthones are chiral and present a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities. Some of them have been exhaustively studied and subsequently, obtained by synthesis. In order to obtain libraries of compounds for structure activity relationship (SAR) studies as well as to improve the biological activity, new bioactive analogues and derivatives inspired in natural prototypes were synthetized. Bioactive natural xanthones compromise a large structural multiplicity of compounds, including a diversity of chiral derivatives. Thus, recently an exponential interest in synthetic chiral derivatives of xanthones (CDXs) has been witnessed. The synthetic methodologies can afford structures that otherwise could not be reached within the natural products for biological activity and SAR studies. Another reason that justifies this trend is that both enantiomers can be obtained by using appropriate synthetic pathways, allowing the possibility to perform enantioselectivity studies. In this work, a literature review of synthetic CDXs is presented. The structures, the approaches used for their synthesis and the biological activities are described, emphasizing the enantioselectivity studies.

Introduction. In recent years, interest in the compounds of the benzofuroxane series has increased, because they have a wide range of biological activity, and in addition are donors of nitric oxide. In the scientific literature, many works are related to the synthesis and study of the biological activity of 5-nitro-4,6-dichlorobenzofuroxane amino derivatives, whereas amino derivatives of the 5,7-dichlor-4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxane substrate have been poorly studied.Aim. Is the synthesis of new amino derivatives of 5,7-dichloro-4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxane and the study of their biological activity.Materials and methods. Investigated the reaction of condensation of 5,7-dichloro-4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxane with different aromatic amines, containing functional groups of acceptor character in their structure were selected. In order to increase the yield for each specific reaction, the reaction conditions were selected (the reaction temperature, medium, and the amount of amine). The structure of the compounds confirmed IR, NMR spectra and elemental analysis.Results and discussion. New compounds in the 5,7-diamino-4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxane series were obtained. Acute toxicity, acaricidal and bacteriostatic activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were studied. The obtained compounds were found to have high pharmacological activity, superior to the comparison drug (Chlorophos and Creolin).Conclusion. Most of the amino derivative synthesized 5,7-dichloro-4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxane have a high activity against mites and bacteria. Compounds containing in their structure chlorine and methyl radicals, have biological activity at low concentrations, are low-toxic and belong to the 4th hazard class.

Conclusion: In summary, literature data on the synthesis and structure of oximes of nucleosides and related nitrogenous bases derived from pyrimidine, which play an important role in the biological processes, were reviewed. Synthesis of novel heterocyclic systems from nucleoside oximes related pyrimidine oximes was described. The biological activity of derivatives of nucleoside and nucleotide oximes was also reviewed. The studied class of compounds show a wide range of imino-amino and imino-nitroso tautomerism, which was investigated in the presented literature by 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopy methods. Also, according to the authors point of view, due to imino-amino and/or imino-nitroso tautomerism the nucleoside oximes show interesting activity. Most of the compounds exhibit biological activity characteristic of not only oxime derivatives, but also activity of hydroxylamines or nitroso compounds.

Host defence peptides (HDPs) are powerful modulators of cellular responses to various types of insults caused by pathogen agents. To date, a wide range of HDPs, from species of different kingdoms including bacteria, plant and animal with extreme diversity in structure and biological activity, have been described. Apart from a limited number of peptides ribosomally synthesized, a large number of promising and multifunctional HDPs have been identified within protein precursors, with properties not necessarily related to innate immunity, consolidating the fascinating hypothesis that proteins have a second or even multiple biological mission in the form of one or more bio-active peptides. Among these precursors, enzymes constitute certainly an interesting group, because most of them are mainly globular and characterized by a fine specific internal structure closely related to their catalytic properties and also because they are yet little considered as potential HDP releasing proteins. In this regard, the main aim of the present review is to describe a panel of HDPs, identified in all canonical classes of enzymes, and to provide a detailed description on hydrolases and their corresponding HDPs, as there seems to exist a striking link between these structurally sophisticated catalysts and their high content in cationic and amphipathic cryptic peptides.
